Aminopeptidase N/CD13 (Anpep) is a membrane-bound protein that catalyzes the formation of natriuretic hexapeptide angiotensin IV (ANG IV) from ANG III. We previously reported that Anpep is more highly expressed in the kidneys of Dahl salt-resistant (SR/Jr) than salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) rats, Anpep maps to a quantitative trait locus for hypertension, and that the Dahl SR/Jr rat contains a functional polymorphism of the gene. This suggests that renal Anpep may be linked to salt sensitivity; however, its effect on renal Na handling has not been determined. Here, we examined regulation of basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase, a preeminent basolateral Na+ transporter in proximal tubule cells, by Anpep in LLC-PK1 cells. Treatment of the cells with Anpep siRNA increased total cellular Na+-K+-ATPase activity and basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase abundance by approximately twofold. Conversely, Anpep overexpression reduced Na+-K+-ATPase activity and basolateral abundance by ∼50%. Similar effects were observed after treatment with ANG IV (10 nM, ×30 min and 12 h). ANG IV receptor (AGTRIV) knockdown via specific siRNA relieved the decreases in basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase levels and activity induced by Anpep overexpression. In sum, these results demonstrate that Anpep reduces basolateral Na+-K+-ATPase levels via ANG IV/AGTRIV signaling. This novel pathway may be important in renal adaptation to high salt.

A new specific method for the detection of carbonic anhydrase, EC 4.2.1.1, in tissues is described. The reaction of carbonic anhydrase with dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonamide (DNSA) forms a highly fluorescent complex. The specificity of the method is proved by the quenching of this fluorescence with ethoxzolamide (6-ethoxybenzothiazole-5-sulfonamide). The difference in the wavelength makes it possible to absorb the fluorescence of the unbound dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonamide by filters. Kidney, proventriculus, and bone from chicken have been examined. Carbonic anhydrase has been detected in the cytoplasm of the columnar lining cells, proximal tubule cells, and osteoclasts.

An ECVAM task force on nephrotoxicity has been established to advise, in particular, on the follow-up to recommendations made in the ECVAM workshop report on nephrotoxicity testing in vitro. Since this workshop was held, in 1994, there have been several improvements in the techniques used. For example, the duration of renal slice viability, and the maintenance of functional activities in slices, have been improved by using dynamic incubation systems with higher oxygen tensions and more-appropriate cell culture media. Highly differentiated primary cultures of pig, human and rabbit proximal tubule cells have been established by using specific cell isolation procedures and/or selective culture media. To date, the most comparable phenotypic expression and transepithelial transport capacities to proximal tubules in vivo have been obtained with primary cultures of rabbit proximal tubule cells which are grown on bicompartmental supports; in this system, transepithelial substrate gradients are generated and the transepithelial transport of both organic anions and cations is highly active. This in vitro system has been selected by ECVAM for further evaluation and prevalidation. Industrial needs in the area of nephrotoxicity testing have been identified, and recommendations are made at the end of this report concerning possible future initiatives.
